Unfortunately had to return.
I usually take a size 7 in Fryes
but these were big. Also didn’t like that the ankle of the boot was so wide. I have the classic Campus boots in Banana
size 7 and they’re perfect! Love them! But the Harness 8R’s were a no for me.
Peace and Love

The color of the actual boot is much redder than shown.

I’m always an 8.5, but this was too big, especially very loose in the heel. Tried sz 8, same problem. For the heel to fit I’d need 3pr of thick Sox, but could only accommodate 1 thin pair for ball of my foot

Have been wanting Frye boots for a while. I ordered a 10 and they are hard to get on but too big once they are on. I had read the reviews to order down, but was afraid to do that. Am worried that they will be even harder to get on in a smaller size. I also feel that they look very big on my feet. Always felt my feet were big so don't like that they enhance that. May try to look for a different style.

I purchased a pair of Melissa button boots about 7 years ago and fell in love with them! I still own them and it gets better with age. I decided to get a black pair this time & I was disappointed. It had a funny rippling effect in the top front of boot. Back they went.

Great boot but I was looking for something more fitting up to the top of my calve. It's a pull on, without a zipper so it's pretty wide near the top. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have taken these boots to a shoe shop to be stretched. The right boot is very difficult to. Get on as I have high insteps . Hopefully Zi will soon enjoying wearing them v

I bought these online and made sure to get the extra wide calf but they still were very difficult to get on and I couldn't even get them up without scrunching my leggings. No way they'd fit with jeans! My calves measure 15.5 in. I exchanged these for the Melissa Button with back zipper and I love them. A great alternate if you like this style but have bigger/athletic calves.

This is a cute boot but very stiff and not comfortable, it might need a lot of breaking in!

Very sturdy but found these boots too narrow and too long. I find Frye men's boots fit my foot better.

Definitely not a boot if you're on the shorter side. These were just too tall for me and I am 5'3". The fit was big too, especially around the top of the foot/bottom of shin, of course it may be because they are a slip on.

I was thrilled to find a beautiful, basic style wine-colored boot that I had been looking for for two years. I was so disappointed when they arrived - I have a flexible high arch and because there wasn't a zipper, the pull and tug that was needed to get them on was not worth keeping them. I also felt the ankle area was very boxy looking. Will be sending them back.

The only complaint I have is that these boots run a little big. I needed a half size smaller, but had already worn them a few times.

These boots are absolutely stunning! The shaft height, calf width, foot length, and quality were all perfect. Unfortunately, the toe box is too narrow. My small toes rolled under each other to fit into the boots. I need a wide shoe in this style, but not a wide calf. I also have the Frye Veronica short boot in the same size, and those fit perfectly. Too bad these are going back! :(

These boots are beautiful! Sadly, I have to return them because I have a high instep and cannot pull them on. I need a boot with a zipper. Boo! Love Frye's though.

I wanted so much to love these boots but the fit was just too bad. They were tough to pull on because the ankle/shaft area was so tight, the heel was way too lose and there was a weird lump in the heel area where the tag was. I even tried the lower, clog version and I still could not get the right fit. I finally found and bought a pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots that are tall, easy to pull on, more comfortable, and cheaper than any Fry boots that I have tried. For the price, the fit of the Frye boots just was not worth it.

These are beautiful boots, but they run SO big. Definitely order down 1/2 to a full size (and I wouldn't recommend if you have narrow feet at all). They leg opening is also very wide (and I have big calves, so it was surprising how wide they were!). I love these boots, but they're just so big all around (width & length) that they were too bulky for me.

I was so excited when these boots arrived. After trying them on, the left boot was a great fit the right boot was so tight it hurt within 3 minutes. Go figure, I have never had this problem before and I have over 6 pairs of Frye boots! I am sending them back. Zappos you rock, for letting me constantly order and return. I am on a boot hunt and the saga continues. I think I will reorder. I am a die hard Frye boot lover. :)

This is my second pair of Melissa button boots, I have a current pair that I have had for four years that are amazing. I wanted a new pair in a different color bc I loved them so much. Unfortunately the quality is SO bad now, I have no idea what happened to these! Its like a totally different boot when I compare the two boots, the leather is really not nearly like it used to be. I have 5 pairs of Frye boots and one pair of Frye high tops so I know what the normal quality is like, and this is not it. I am returning these.

Wanted these for a long time. Finally bought and am honestly disappointed. They are very heavy and pull socks down. There is also a weird bump inside that has caused my left foot serious pain. Fry needs to put pictures of boots being worn on the site so you can see how they look on because especially with this pair, it's very different. They are high quality, great leather, the fit isn't right though and they look a bit strange in person.

I bought these in black and within several months they turned white! I emailed Frye tons of pictures since they were still under warranty and received the response that this is normal for leather(which doesn't seem accurate). They've turned completely white several times within this year and each time requires using 3-5 coats of black shoe polish. Like others, I had to get them resoled right after buying. They look good at first (2 months) though!

I returned this item because it is very narrow in and around the foot but wide up at the calf. Did not fit comfortably
